DGT Pyramid 4-Player Game Timer

Equipped with a motion sensor

A motion sensor ensures that only the clock facing upwards is running. Simply turn the DGT Pyramid in its base and the next player’s clock will automatically start to run. Place the Pyramid on the table outside its base to pause all clocks and interrupt the game for example when disputing a word in a game of Scrabble.

Game timing options

The DGT Pyramid has five different timing options:

• Game timer option: each player has the same amount of time to complete the whole game; each time a player’s clock is faced upwards his clock will continue counting down.
• Move timer option: each player has the same amount of time to complete each turn or move; at the start of each turn each player again receives the same amount of time in which to complete the move.
• Move timer + save option: as in the move timer option each player receives the same amount of time at the start of each turn, but in addition with the move timer save option all time a player has not used on its previous moves is saved and carried on to the next move. This option allows players to save unused time and build up a buffer to be used when needed. For example in a game of Rummikub when a move may simply consist of picking up another tile all unused time is saved for use at a later stage when a player may want to spend more time to think about his move.
• Up count option: each player’s clock records the total time a player is using for all his moves; each time a player’s clock is faced upwards his clock will continue the up count.
• Move counter option: each time a player’s clock is faced upwards his counter adds one move to his total number of moves.
